The assault, which wounded at least 70 people, targeted a viewing stand where Iranian officials had gathered to watch an annual event marking the start of the Islamic Republic's 1980-88 war with neighbouring Iraq.

The deputy head of the Revolutionary Guards accused Saudi Arabia, Israel and the United States of masterminding the attack and promised they would face repercussions.

This year's parades had special significance as tensions with the United States have peaked since the USA withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal in May and began to re-impose unilateral economic sanctions on Tehran.

'We listened to Iran's reading of the situation and we offered our condolences for the attack, ' the ministry is quoted as saying by broadcaster NOS.

It answers to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But it is unlikely the IRGC will strike any of these foes directly.
